Just Gold Blusher Kit 5 in One : Review & Swatches

As i told in my earlier posts that i love to buy different brands products . I do not go just after high end brands or famous brands. Whenever i see a good product , i try to grab it as soon as possible . I have a Just Gold blusher kit , which i got as a present from my dear ones. Below you can see its packaging :

It comes with a white color rectangular box , with a wide mirror inside it and two low quality applicators ( which obviously i never used for applying blusher).

I did not try all the colors but i have tried 2 shades of this palette (second and third one from the left )and i like them alot and i am pretty much satisfied with this palette . It will attract to the girls who cannot afford to buy expensive single color blushers and use blushers occasionally , This blusher kit gives a choice of 5 different shades of blushers . They are surprisingly pigmented, easily blendable and have fine shimmer in it . You can mix two colors and create your own new color easily. Below you can see a blended swatch of these five blushers.

This palette is easily available at any local cosmetic shop for Rs. 400 Pkr ( price may vary )
Here is the list of ingredients given on the back of this palette, if you are concerned :

In my opinion, it is a great choice if you are a beginner and want to try different blusher color or just playing with them . I will not recommend this for regular use.

Luscious Lipstick in Rebel : Review & Swatches.

 Every girls dreams of a perfect pout. Turn your dreams into reality with Luscious cosmetics super moisturizing  lipsticks.

Luscious Cosmetics  is a Pakistani brand which provides us quality cosmetics at affordable prices. I love their lip glosses, lipsticks and Nail colors range  Their lipsticks are moisturizing , yet long lasting  , makes your lips beautiful with variety of colors. 

Luscious Lipstick

 I really like its packaging , it is slightly shorter than the regular lipsticks in size and comes in a metallic silver tube , which looks very classy. On top it has a logo of Luscious lipstick and in the bottom you can see they have mentioned company name , shade name and amount of product.

I have luscious super moisturizing lipstick in Rebel.It is a pinkish orange color which looks beautiful to wear at day time. It is very moisturizing and gives a semi opaque coverage. This particular shade REBEL  Looks great in summer or with day time makeup. It looks great when pair both with pink and coral blushes.

What Luscious Cosmetics say about their super moisturizing lipsticks :

Our long-lasting formula enriched with Vitamin E and the super antioxidant Grape Seed Oil speaks for itself. It will never change color or dry out, keeping lips moisturised and happy. We’ve added extra color for great coverage. Try it to believe it!

My experience :

This lipstick is really moisturizing and does not dry out your lips . It also nourishes your lipstick because of grape seed oil and vitamin E which is present in it . My lips looks fuller , moisturized . it is long lasting too I just have to re touch it after few hours and thats it. Some times i just dab my fingers on it and use it as a cream blusher . and dust over some powder blusher.  it makes a great cream blusher that gives a natural glow on your face. I would love to try more shades of this lipsticks. These are affordable too 

Here is a swatch of this on my lips :

. I bought this lipstick for Rs. 440 Pkr from Luscious Cosmetics Website. You can buy Luscious Cosmetics online from here

Freeman Facial Enzyme Mask Pineapple : Review

Hey girls , today i am doing a post about yet another Freeman product. its a Freeman Facial enzyme mask.

I heard so many good thing about Freeman facial enzyme mask , thats why i decided to buy this mask . I bought this from Chase departmental store , for Rs. 275 pkr. And i am glad that i made a wise decision . I am using this mask for a month now and i am very happy with its results. 

it comes in a squeeze tube , so its easy to use and carry around if you are travelling . I am just in love with its fragrance. Every time i opens its tube and squeeze it out , i feels that i am applying fresh pineapples on my face :) its so tempting and feels yummy that one could not resist eating it :) trust me , it smells delicious :)

When i first squeeze it into my palm i felt that it is made by freshly crushed pineapples. it also contains micro beads as you can see here:

close up picture : here you can see microbeads inside

I use it weekly , after cleansing my face. it is a  moisturizing mask , it also contains microbeads in it . Just apply it in a thick layer and leave it on your face for 15 minutes , It will be absorbed into your skin . Then splash your face with water and using your fingertips massage it in circular motions , the microbeads will exfoliates your skin surface and then rinse off with luke warm water ( as directed )

My experience :

My skin feels very soft and supple after using this mask , its gives a instant life to my skin :) I am in love with it and would like to buy it again and again :) 

My recommendation : 

Yes, its worth trying :)

Etude Liquid Foundation : Review & Swatches

Etude cosmetics is a very popular brand in Asia , it provides a wide range of affordable and great quality cosmetics. I really like its blushers , and eyeshadow range. Today i am reviewing one of my favorite liquid foundation by Etude house of cosmetics. I am using this for past two and a half years now for daily wear. And i am pretty satisfied with it.Thats why i like to buy it again and again. Here is a picture of this Foundation :

I really like its packaging , it comes with a glass bottle which is transparent and light pink in color which is very cute. It has a pump in it , which makes it easy to use and carry around. I have it in shade number  B-03 that is medium beige. It perfectly matches my wheatish skin tone. Heres a swatch :

un blended without flash

Blended- with flash

I like to apply it with my fingers in dots on cleansed and moisturized skin. After that i blend it using with my fingers in circular motion . Then with a sponge to blend it perfectly. It gives best results when used with etude compact powder in same shade.
It does not gives cakey or matte finish , but sets with a dewy finish , which i loves alot. I wear it mostly at day time or going some casual parties etc . it needs some touch ups after two to three hours and thats it. It comes with a price tag of Rs. 750 Pkr and its worth it. Do not compare it with other high end foundations . it does what it claims to do . It is not waterproof , so do not wear it in extremely hot weather or other circumstances. It does not give high coverage as it gives natural to medium coverage. 


Pros: affordable , easily available , blends easily , gives natural coverage, does not look cakey
Cons : Do not hide blemishes and other scars , you have to use a seperate concealer for that , not very long lasting , need to re touch every two to three hours with compact powder 


I would suggest it to girls who wants sheer to medium coverage and a daily wear foundation . its affordable too and easily available in Pakistan and Asian countries.

Lakme Lip Chrome : Review and Swatch

Today I am going to review Lakme Lip chrome from Lakme Bridal Sutra Collection. It was gifted to me by one of my cousins living in India .Lakme is a very famous brand in India and they offer a wide range of good quality cosmetics and skin care products that are affordable and reliable.

 Lip Chrome is basically a combination of liquid lipstick and lip gloss, it also has metallic sheen in it. I really like its formula , packaging , color . I just love it .It comes in a rectangular glass tube with gold color cap. its applicator is also nice and makes application easy. 

I have it in shade number 401. I wear it occassionally , mostly going out at night parties or weddings . As its color is bit darker for me to use at day time . Its a beautiful Coral shade with a hint of copper in it . The color pay off of this lip chrome is amazing . see how pigmented it is :

If Lakme collection was available in Pakistan , I would definitely try more colors . Its long lasting too and does not make lips drier as mostly liquid lipsticks do.
Here is a swatch of this :

I am in love with its shine and color . I would love to try more lakme lip products if i could.

Review : Freeman Refining Facial Cleanser

Hey gals , 
Its Summer time and its time for feeling more fruity and juicy :)
I am using a new cleanser these days , its Freeman Facial Cleanser with Pears extracts and salicylic acid .

Its Fruity appearance made me buy this product. And i am glad that i bought this.  I love trying new products , and Freeman is a brand name which always offers amazing yet affordable products. It comes in a  squeeze tube of 150 ml. 

I use it as a general cleanser in the morning . I am in love with its fruity fragrance , apples mixed with pears mmmm... sounds yummy isnt it ?. As a cleanser, it does a decent job . I massage it on my face for 2 to 3 minutes then rinse off with luke warm water ( as suggested on the tube ). it makes my skin soft , supple and radiant :) and Yes oil-free .It has salicylic acid in it so it also helps me prevent breakouts. its fruity fragrance wakes me up :). I am pretty satisfied with its performance. I also tried it for removing  makeup after coming back from a wedding at night and it removed every traces of makeup without any hassle . Whats more do you want girls ???

Here is the list of ingredients :

My verdict :


It comes with a price tag of Rs. 275 , i bought this from Chase departmental store.I would say it is a nice and affordable product for girls who already have clear skin and just need an affordable and decent cleanser. I would not suggest it to the girls who have blemishes or acne prone skin, as it would not help you in that aspect.


My recommendation :


I would buy it again as a daily routine cleanser.

Revlon Colorstay Foundation For Oily Skin

Hey Girls , 

Do you want a foundation which is affordable and yet gives picture perfect results ? 

Being a girl too, i already knew that everyone would instantly say YES !

If you want an affordable , yet easy to use foundation , for oily skin which stays in place for a good 5 to 8 hours , then Revlon Colorstay Foundation for Combination to Oily skin is the answer to your query.

Revlon Cosmetics claims that :

 ColorStay™ Makeup with SoftFlex™ provides lightweight comfort, so you feel like you’re not wearing makeup. Looks fresh for up to 16 hours.

It comes in a good range of shades to choose from.

 I have this Foundation in Sand beige 180 shade , and its a perfect match for me as my complexion is Medium toned . This particular shade perfectly blend with my skin tone and gives very fresh and naturally flawless complexion , My skin does not need very high coverage , i do not have dark circles, blemishes or acne scars etc . I just need to make my complexion even and fresh through out the day . and Revlon colorstay foundation does it pretty easily. It is long lasting  , you just need to touch up with any good compact powder after few hours and it will stay in place just perfectly for hours and hours.

It comes with a 30ml glass bottle without a pump , I personally do not like foundations which comes without pumps. You have to pour a little amount on your palm and then use it . I apply it with slightly damp sponge because the formula of this foundation is fast drying . So by using a wet sponge it gives good results. I tried to apply this with my fingertips earlier but i could not blend it so well , because it dries faster , It has SPF 6 in it , which not too strong but i like the fact that my foundation has some SPF in it. I recommend that you should apply a good moisturizer before applying the foundation and leave on for 5 minutes that apply it , and you will get a dewy finish.

The smell is just ok . So i do not have any issue with it. Here is a swatch of this foundation : 

After blending it looks like this :

I like this foundation alot , i love to wear it during summer specially as it makes me feel like i am not wearing makeup at all . 

It is easily available in Pakistan at leading superstores for Rs. 1100 - 1200. You just have to find the right shade for yourself.
